In an old Peanuts strip, Lucy says that she wants to be a critic when she grows up. Someone asks her what she will be a critic of, and she replies (something like), “Every man, woman, and child in the United States.”
Classics like this make the rounds among us brethren. I will print a few to quietly leave in safe places at the graves of a few close friends who have passed on. Listen closely! That isn’t thunder you hear from the skies, it’ laughter.

That could be Opal’s goal.

The fact that she actually realizes this about herself proves that this is just a cartoon.

Yes, you do pretty much criticize everything Earl does, Opal.
goboboyd 3 months ago
But that’s different. Whether it is or not. I’m sure Earl know this and just wasn’t thinking before speaking. Whether he did or not.

What is it exactly that he does? I don’t think I’ve seen the man do a darn thing around the house, or outside, since I started reading this strip.

Watch where you point that brush, Opal, it might go off.
I’ve been attempting some house painting, and I swear the little trim brush squirts paint sometimes…
